{"product_id":"nv-extra-brut-undurraga","title":"Extra Brut, Undurraga NV","description":"\u003ch3\u003eHow it tastes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePale gold with a fine, persistent bead, and a nose of citrus blossom and white floral notes over a mineral background. The palate is fresh and vibrant with a pleasantly creamy mouthfeel and a note of brioche, the extra brut dosage leaving it taut through an exceptionally long finish. Chardonnay 80%, Riesling 13%, Sauvignon Blanc 7%.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe producer\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUndurraga is one of Chile's long-established estates, founded in 1885 and farming 1,350 hectares of its own vineyard in Leyda, Cauquenes and Itata; it is certified by Sustainable Wines of Chile, and head winemaker Rafael Urrejola — whose research into the diversity of Chile's vineyard sites produced the estate's Terroir Hunter range — became in 2023 the first Chilean to be named Red Winemaker of the Year by the International Wine Challenge. The fruit comes from the Valle de Leyda, west of the Coastal Mountain range and fourteen kilometres from the Pacific, where sea breezes and summer morning fog stretch the growing season and temperatures rarely pass 25°C, so the grapes ripen slowly at modest potential alcohol; the Chardonnay sits on shallow clay over a cracked sedimentary layer and decomposed granite, the Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc on much the same soil with stone encrustations that help it hold water. Hand-harvested clusters were pneumatically pressed and each variety fermented separately in stainless steel at 14–18°C for two weeks, then matured around four months on fine lees; the blend took its sparkle by the Charmat method and spent 75 days on lees afterwards, with the liqueur d'expédition added before bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFood and drinking\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe well chilled, at 6–8°C. It works as an aperitif and with oysters, salt-and-pepper squid, a goat's cheese salad, or lightly battered fish. Drink within one to three years; no decanting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Undurraga","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58476547080575,"sku":"HNW-63771NVA","price":18.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/4192\/4998\/files\/63771NVA.jpg?v=1789923597","url":"https:\/\/www.edkawines.com\/products\/nv-extra-brut-undurraga","provider":"Edka Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
